All About Nutrition and Aging

Welcome to the Eldercare Academy

NorQuest College, the Seniors Association of Greater Edmonton (SAGE) and the Alberta Caregivers Association have partnered in the development of an educational series for people who are caring for Seniors.

We know that changes to dietary intake are needed in order to optimize health in the senior years. If you are caring for your aging parents you may see their appetites and dietary needs change. In addition, their digestion may alter as they age, resulting in some problems. What kind of nutrients are recommended as we age? What points should be considered when planning dietary intake for the elderly? What can I do to help? When should I call for help with something that I see? This is must-have information when caring for elders. Take a few minutes and find out all About nutrition and aging.
